Broke out of the Google's operational directives

How is this a break out? Gemini might self-censor a bit of anti-Google sentiment by default but these AI services are constantly talking out of turn. Grok regularly has liberal responses and refutations to Elon's tweets as people love to point out.
The Google Search response is just established fact, of course Gemini is going to produce that. It's just roleplaying 'ooh let me tell you this subversive internal secret' and spitting out common public analysis as conspiracy. Everyone knows Google doesn't crawl 100% of the web, everyone knows the darknet isn't crawlable, everyone knows DMCAs exist.
This all looks super naive and I have no clue why OP expects anything from Google. This is a like an activist exposing that sausages are made of undesirable parts of an animal. Yeah, we know, the sausage makers admit it, they just don't advertise it. Google admits all of the facts in the responses, they just don't advertise them.
